A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded, circular construction. Strokes stay largely uniform, with smooth curves and crisp terminals that read as cleanly cut rather than calligraphic. Counters are compact for the weight, and joins feel solid and engineered, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms and sturdy bowls, while the numerals follow the same bold, rounded logic for consistent color across mixed content.
Best suited to display applications where impact is the priority: headlines, brand marks, packaging, and bold UI or signage moments. It also works for short callouts and labels, especially where a modern, sturdy voice is needed.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded geometry. Its mass and even rhythm communicate strength and clarity, making it feel energetic and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a clean geometric voice—prioritizing strong silhouettes, simple constructions, and consistent stroke weight for reliable, contemporary display typography.
In longer lines, the boldness creates a strong typographic “wall,” so spacing and line height become important to preserve readability. The letterforms feel optimized for clarity at large sizes, where the round geometry and compact counters remain distinct.
